ENGINEERING RULES
Rules Engine & Precedence
How AEK resolves, audits, and enforces global and project-level engineering standards.
3-Tier Precedence Hierarchy
Rules are merged in strict ascending order, with project-specific instructions overriding workspace and global settings:
1. Global Tier (~/.gemini/antigravity/rules/ or global config)
2. Workspace Tier (Parent multi-repository workspace root)
3. Project Tier (.gemini/rules/, .cursor/rules/, or project root) [HIGHEST]
Size & Token Budgeting Constraints
To prevent context window bloat and instruction dilution, AEK enforces a strict 24 KB maximum size per rule file.
